Default New to the site

Hey guys, new to the forum. Stationed in Texas at the moment with the U.S. Army, finally able to get myself a proper automobile with that steady paycheck I now receive.

Always been a Pontiac guy, made it through a year of high school and 4 years of college with a '92 Grand Prix that started with 233,000 miles and ended with 298,000 miles. Once I made it to my duty station I purchased a red '97 WS6. However, I always loved the look of the 4th gen models, and sold the '97 and bought my current car, a 2001 WS6. I picked it up with 48,000 miles on it, and in really great shape. Car had a couple of mods on it when I bought it, including long tube headers, SLP lid, and a Corsa header back exhaust. I've made some minor cosmetic alterations to the car, but other than that I'm currently trying to decide which mod I want to undertake next. Look forward to gleaning all the knowledge I can from the site and everyone here!

Welcome! Just so you know, both of your vehicles were considered 4th gen F-bodys. (1993-2002)

Did not know that, I was under the assumption that 1993-1997 were the 3rd gen bodies, but looking at that now 5 years does seem rather short for a "gen" designation, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the heads up!
